Society does need to accept it. Not accept it, suck it up, and ignore it. Accept that it is a real problem that needs to be addressed.

Yes, ignoring the problem is the issue.... "acceptance" means
dealing with it, and dealing with the problem with some compassion and empathy does not mean advocating it.
But to call someone stupid when they are really hurting reaks of cold and compassionless 'clinical' examination from the standpoint of never having been there. Suicide is not a reasonable way to put an end to your problems, but a person is not stupid for having those feelings.
We need to hear from someone who has felt the n eed or tried to commit suicide before. In retrospect, it's easy to say "It was stupid of me to feel that way" but we need to hear about the feelings in the moment and leading up to that moment to understand better.
